I remember coming home from school to lunches of canned pilchard curry. Delicious scooped up with soft white bread, it didn’t matter that the smell of canned fish lingered long after the swallowing, it was one of the most satisfying meals.

I am a freelance writer and photographer (look for me as ShootCake). I have an MA in Creative Writing from Rhodes University, Grahamstown and some of my work has appeared in local literary journals. A food pornographer by calling, I would like to one day create a confessional recipe book in measures of rhythm and breath.
